[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 154

Luo Ning was disheartened by the fact that he had gained weight. Was it really that easy to gain weight in winter?

He had just eaten and slept a little more than usual, but now he looked quite cute with his weight. But if he continued like this, he would gain so much weight by spring that he wouldn’t want to look at himself in the mirror.

Luo Ning was startled and made up his mind. He had to lose weight and get back to his original figure and appearance.

But when he saw the pork that Xie Chunian brought back, he frowned. What should he do?

He felt tempted to eat it.

It had been a long time since he had pork, and he was beginning to forget what it tasted like. Dishes began to float in his mind. Pork belly with a good balance of lean meat and fat could be made into braised pork. Tender spare ribs could be made into sweet and sour spare ribs, bright red and fragrant.

Slurp, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Luo Ning was incredibly hungry.

Forget it. He would just eat the pork and then lose weight afterward. He could diet anytime. It’s not like he was missing out on this meal.

His resolve wavered immediately. Luo Ning comforted himself that he would just eat a little, just to taste it. But when the rich sauce of the braised pork spread in his mouth, he forgot everything, only focused on gobbling down the rice, his cheeks stuffed full.

Xie Chunian deliberately pushed the braised pork in front of Luo Ning, watching with a smile as his little husband devoured his meal. Luo Ning’s face was round and plump like a steamed bun, soft and pleasing to the touch. His beautiful eyes sparkled as he dove into the food. Xie Chunian felt his heart melting. At the same time, he felt a bit proud. He had finally managed to fatten up his little husband, which meant he was taking good care of him. People outside said his little husband looked blessed.

After putting down his rice bowl, Luo Ning stared blankly at the empty plates and bowls. He then touched his belly, feeling uncomfortable as he pouted. It was no surprise he had gotten fat. Who told him to eat so much?

Luo Ning became determined, and a hint of resolve flashed in his eyes. He absolutely could not indulge himself anymore. If he continued like this, he would eventually become a fat pig. From now on, he would only eat plain rice and vegetables.

Not only did he need to diet, but he also had to exercise. Luo Ning struggled to resist the urge to curl up and decided he had to jump up and run a few laps.

Although he had promised himself he would only eat vegetables, he felt so hungry.

His stomach gurgled. Luo Ning felt dizzy with hunger, as if white rice and vegetables weren’t filling him at all. He felt weak and couldn’t help but nibble on a couple of pastries.

Now he stared at the meat dishes on the table, eyes filled with intense longing.

They looked so delicious.

Luo Ning bit his lips. The vegetables in his mouth suddenly tasted bland. Eating a little meat wouldn’t hurt. It was just that he couldn’t control his hands. Once he started eating, it would never end. He needed to gather his mind and lose the weight.

Xie Chunian placed a piece of pork rib into his bowl. “Why are you so focused on just eating vegetables?”

Luo Ning made an excuse, “I’m already tired of meat. I just want something lighter.”

Xie Chunian initially believed him, but while holding Luo Ning that night, he heard the rumbling of Luo Ning’s stomach. He recalled what had happened during dinner, and he realized that Luo Ning was as greedy as a starving cat.

Xie Chunian asked in confusion, “Why are you deliberately starving yourself?”

Luo Ning raised his hand, noticing that even his once delicate fingers had thickened. He mumbled, “Look at me, I’m worried about this. I’m afraid to even drink water, thinking I’ll gain weight. How did I suddenly become so chubby?”

Xie Chunian took his chubby little hand to his lips and kissed it. “You’re not fat at all. You look great.”

He loved pulling his round little husband into his embrace. It felt so nice to hold him. He couldn’t help but give him a playful squeeze and kiss his soft cheeks.

Luo Ning pushed away the big dog in front of him. “Not good-looking at all. You don’t understand how I feel. Once you become a fatty, you’ll know how hard it is for me.”

Xie Chunian replied, “But you shouldn’t starve yourself. It’s bad for your health.”

Luo Ning was also puzzled. His appetite had increased dramatically these days. He used to not be able to eat so much, but now he felt like he couldn’t fill up no matter what he ate.

Was he falling ill?

But which sick person could have such a rosy complexion?

Luo Ning pushed the thought aside until one night when Xie Chunian carried him to bed.

Xie Chunian exhaled lightly. His baby was indeed felt quite solid, and it was a bit difficult to carry him. He wrapped his large arms around Luo Ning’s waist, lingeringly kissing his cheek. Luo Ning felt dizzy with the kisses. Xie Chunian slowly pulled off the cotton clothing, his thin lips brushing against Luo Ning’s collarbone while his hand wandered over Luo Ning’s lower abdomen.

Xie Chunian’s throat felt dry and his breathing was uneven when he suddenly froze, his mind clearing for a moment.

Was something not right?

He reached out again to touch Luo Ning’s lower abdomen, slowly widening his eyes. In the warm light, he saw that Luo Ning’s once flat and fair abdomen now had a slight protrusion, a gentle curve?

What was going on?

Xie Chunian’s body stiffened. The clothes were slightly loosened, and Luo Ning felt the cool air touch his lower abdomen. He blinked his big watery eyes and kicked Xie Chunian lightly, wanting him to hold him.

But Xie Chunian didn’t react, looking dazed. Luo Ning regained a bit of clarity and followed Xie Chunian’s gaze downwards.

He noticed that his belly was swollen!

Luo Ning was shocked. This shouldn’t be just weight gain, right? How strange.

A sudden thought flashed through his mind.

Then he vaguely remembered that in this world, he was a ger, and gers could also bear children!

His belly indeed looked like it was showing signs of pregnancy!

Could it be that he was actually pregnant?

Panic washed over Luo Ning as he hurriedly recalled his symptoms from the past few days. They were strikingly similar to those of a pregnant woman. He knew it! No wonder he had been eating so much.

Thinking about the possibility of a baby inside him, Luo Ning felt a whirlwind of emotions. He had never imagined the idea of being pregnant before, so he was naturally anxious and frightened. At the same time, it felt incredibly unreal. How did he end up with such a large belly without realizing it?

With tears in his eyes, he looked up and met Xie Chunian’s gaze. After a moment of daze, Xie Chunian seemed to understand as well. His hand gently covered Luo Ning’s lower abdomen, his eyes filled with obvious surprise. Noticing Luo Ning’s unease, he quickly hugged him, his big hand rubbing soothingly along Luo Ning’s back. “Don’t be afraid, baby.”

“We’ll go see the doctor tomorrow. For now, let’s just get a good night’s sleep.”

Luo Ning bit into the man’s shoulder. In this situation, how could he sleep? His belly was already sticking out. There was no need to see a doctor to know it was real. He couldn’t deceive himself.

Xie Chunian also found it hard to close his eyes. Like Luo Ning, he wasn’t prepared for a child either.

But just thinking that soon he and his baby would have a little one, tiny and small, calling him “dad” in a sweet baby voice filled his heart with anticipation and joy.

They anxiously waited until dawn and took an ox cart to town.

The doctor felt his pulse and confirmed that Luo Ning was indeed pregnant.

Xie Chunian carefully asked about what to pay attention to, then helped Luo Ning out as they exited. He had a smile on his face, but just as he was about to speak, he noticed Luo Ning frowning.

Xie Chunian’s smile faded, and he asked, “Baby, aren’t you happy about it?”

If Luo Ning didn’t want a child, they could just continue as a couple. But now that he was already pregnant, what could they do?

Luo Ning couldn’t quite describe his feelings. He simply wasn’t mentally prepared yet. But upon thinking again, this was his and Xie Chunian’s child together. He could accept that. A soft little baby—just thinking about it was adorable.

After a couple of days of adjustment, Luo Ning slowly came to accept this fact. Looking at his round belly, he didn’t feel as out of place anymore.

His plans to lose weight were completely abandoned. After all, now there were two of them, and he needed to eat to supplement his nutrition. He was also relieved he hadn’t exercised too vigorously before. The baby was fragile in these early months.

Xie Chunian was very cautious. He appeared calm on the surface, though he was just as nervous. It was his first time becoming a father, and not knowing anything with no elders for guidance made him extremely careful and meticulous in taking care of Luo Ning.

He didn’t let Luo Ning into the kitchen or do any house chores. He kept busy, running around like a taut string.

…

After New Year’s, no one knew that Luo Qing had secretly returned to the village. She looked worn out, her cheeks hollow and her hair disheveled.

Dark circles under her eyes made it hard to see any trace of her youthful vitality. Mrs. Luo almost didn’t recognize her.

With a gloomy expression, Luo Qing showed no signs of other emotions, her eyes filled with malice, like a lurking snake ready to strike at any moment, making others hesitant to approach.

Luo Qing didn’t cause a scene and allowed her mother to chatter on, feeling as though she were a stagnant pool. Only she knew the hatred simmering beneath the surface.

To the extreme, her hatred had dulled her emotions. She thought that after living two lifetimes, she could easily control Young Master Chen. But little did she know, men were inherently fickle.

This time, she hadn’t even been able to become a concubine. Forcing herself to suppress her disdain, she tried to please that man but was quickly rejected and thrown out of that small courtyard.

With nowhere else to go, Luo Qing rented a room in town. She didn’t want to return to the village and didn’t want to be looked down upon. She wanted to prove that she could live well on her own. Otherwise, what was the point of her second life if she continued to live a miserable life?

Using the little money she had, Luo Qing, relying on her memories of her previous life, planned to sell a dish called grilled fish. At first, she earned some money, but before she could celebrate, the Chen family deliberately came to disrupt her business due to the nasty incident when she was thrown out.

With no source of income and no money in hand, after two months, Luo Qing found herself utterly broke, retreating back to Xinghua Village to face the life she despised the most.

Hearing the Chen family mention Luo Ning, Luo Qing’s eyes flickered. They had built a new house! In the village, only the village chief had a house made of blue bricks and tiles, which would cost at least several dozen taels of silver. It must have been thanks to Xie Chunian. He was indeed very capable. In a few more years, Luo Ning would surely become the wife of a wealthy family.

Her brother was really lucky, but on what basis?! Living in a large brick house and being pampered by Xie Chunian, it should have been her life.

In the corner by the yard wall, Luo Qing concealed herself, her fingers digging into the wall cracks, staring intently at the figure not far away.
